eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

[Saro28]

Wow Within reach of Melb.

I have the same as a frame set up for grabs, in yr size, priced right

[Mulger bill]

Wow Within reach of Melb.

Good, bad or indifferent? It's out my way if anybody is interested and needs a pickup.

I'd definitely like to know what people make of this one. I'm in the market for a bike to commute on and I'm loving the look of the vintages!

[frailer5]

Dam_n, you guys are like the Sirens on the Rocks of Lorelei. I'm just over explaining the Ricardo Elite. But I haven't dismissed possibilities.

[takai]

So, before i junk it, is there any demand for old cotter pin cranks? And by demand i mean anyone who might use it actually on a bicycle rather than the steel recyclers.

A Sheldon 'why be normal' Brown bike is up View item
SA ASC fixed 3 speed and biopace chainring. The hub runs backwards with the chain on the LHS. The man was a true eccentric

That's cheap

You can pay more than that for just the ASC 3 speed fixed hub - see here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NOS-1949-Stu ... 48475398d7

And how does a biopace chainring work ?? with a fixed gear? "Why be normal" Sheldon

[quislor]

Would this one be worth buying for less that a hundred? From what I've read, it was a very low end model at the time. I'm only after a commuter bike and it has mudguards and a rack, which is a bonus.

Am guessing it would be doing whatever it does (or doesn't do... SB was a non-sceptic on them, and kinda liked them), regardless of other gearing. His entry on it is a good read. He dismisses the slight change in chain tension as too small to be of concern.

LOL well overpriced for a modified Apollo II

Yeah I reckon $700 is about right, though you never know when the fever will strike

It appears the fever is pandemic. $852 with 4 hours left.

A nice frame, but at $450 for a bottom-end Peugeot it is waaaaay overpriced. At $150 it'd still be expensive.

This appears to be an airlite front hub on a bike you would least expect to find one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Classic-10-s ... 3380b2198e

[LG]

Someone in Adelaide buy this right now, then pass the hubs on to me for the asking price, you keep the rest http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fixie-Fixed- ... 1c3112a74c

Went for stupid money. It's not even that nice.

Not quite the same, but certainly cheaper and more, er, complete:

Seriously? Hoping to attract female buyers?

Seriously? Hoping to attract female buyers?

Washing baskets are, like, sooooo 2012.

Seriously? Hoping to attract female buyers?

I think there's something subliminal in the fact the mannequin changes helmets.

[Kermit TF]

Haha thats priceless !
Isnt it forum rules that 1 in 10 pics in the retro section must contain a washing basket ?

[munga]

no it's not. you're thinking of the slamyourstem thread.

[Crowz]

Not on eBay, but this LeMond looks pretty schmick. Not sure on the price though.
